    Gold Record Card not received (LNER online)

    That isn't the plan over here. Despite these issues being pointed out several times, the people imposing the change don't seem to grasp that it's something which needs sorting. Though the current plan has a very easy workaround for people in the know, which I'm sure other people will figure out...

    RIP old National Rail app

    I'll look to add a settings option to make it more information-dense. I agree that for either an enthusiast or someone more familiar with rail travel, seeing more information is more useful than having it look pretty.

    RIP old National Rail app

    This should be fixed. It is indeed caused by an issue seemingly from the recent Darwin Evolution project, which means we no longer get told when there are more services in the requested 2 hour time window than the max number of services we have asked for. We're working around it on our end now.

    RIP old National Rail app

    This is an upstream issue affecting a number of services as the problem sits within Darwin itself. Well... never say never!

    Are the recent derailments indicative of poor performance from Network Rail?

    I expect this is exactly what we will get (though maybe in the next 96 hours or so), similar to what was published within a week of the Bedford incident in an attempt to provide some answers in the short-term.

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    Between 05:49 and 06:42 there were widespread failures for Mastercard payments, as reported by our payment provider. This was an upstream issue with Mastercard themselves and an issue outside of Raileasy and Stripe.

    RIP old National Rail app

    As far as I can see, something has broken here recently, and all I can think of (without checking!) is Darwin Evolution has changed something with the departure board service we use. It is on my list to look at today, after you emailed us. :)

    Lewes derailment - Thursday 13th August

    Given that the derailed train was travelling south, and the tweet you have screenshotted says northbound services are affected...

    ScotRail - New app / website booking engine from 30 July 2026

    Darwin Evolution regressing was on my bingo card but I didn't think it'd take this long to happen.

    Collective competition claim against Govia Thameslink Railway

    My understanding from what I've heard is that the case has all but fallen apart since the death of the original class representative, and unfortunately we shouldn't realistically expect it to go any further.

    ScotRail - New app / website booking engine from 30 July 2026

    22 mins have passed and you still haven't opened an issue for me to fix it! :p We'd just show whatever the last state of the service which was reported in Darwin. We use the push port service, so we'd just stop receiving new info for the period that it's broken for. "for some reason" does...

    It looks to be doing exactly this, which seems absolutely hilarious.

    Lewes derailment - Thursday 13th August

    These are the affected units. The trailing 3 coaches (of 387304) have derailed, with two entirely on their side. Hopefully not too bad compared to some other incidents in the recent past. I have seen some images of the track it would have passed over, and there is quite significant kinking to...

    RIP old National Rail app

    I believe this was intentionally decommissioned as part of the industry "Darwin Evolution" project.

    Biased, but the TrainSplit app offers live departures and arrivals info, along with train formations and coach images courtesy of RTT.

    Anybody had a train wait for them a minute or more as you ran along the platform/footbridge?

    There's been a couple of times where I run up to a Thameslink train at Burgess Hill as its doors have been locked, and the driver has released them again to allow me to board. Always made my day when that happens! There has been once or twice, back when they were real guards throughout on the...

    Best retailer for digital Gold Card

    I honestly never had issues with GTR when I did buy seasons. If anything, they sent out Gold Cards and Record Cards overzealously, with child-rate and 16-17 Saver seasons.
